I think there is one for sale on My105.

Looks like it. Although the rear body work is not the same.

Not sure what an SR1800 is supposed to be either.

Maybe there is a typo on the entry. Saurus looks more likely than Saurag. :P

From memory they were used in a one make class in Japan some years ago,,,it didn't take off. Then used for cororate days.

I was interested in that car on my105 before I bought the the radical only because it was a Nissan. It's had a respray while in Aust proberly to help sell it. It was all black originally.

Someone correct me but I think it has a Z18 in it.

Man,,,spares I think could be a real problem.

Somewhat off topic (hey its my thread) but how do you find the Radical. Is it all aero grip & no mechanical or reasonably balanced?

Mate three words explain it "I'm in LOVE".

I have never driven any other open sports car so I can't compare but I think its a combo of both but more mech than aero.

The car is very very predictable,,,like nothing else I have ever driven.

It weighs 566 with 20 litres of fuel/my 70 kilos and the corner weights are L/F 118 R/F 122 L/R 162 and R/R 164,,,nice and light with 159hp at the rears.

My 1.06 is rubbish,,,done on tyres which by July had countless heat cycles. The previous owner has done a 1.02 there.

Hope that helps.

yes, built a Z18 at the shop, stuff is interchangeable with other engines ie gaskets, but very hard to find. they are nothing special. Would be a candidate for a SR Conversion surely.

    • I appreciate the detailed explanation, think I understand now. I spent the better part of last night reading what I could about shuffle and potential solutions. I had replaced the OEM twin turbo pipe with an alternate Y pipe that is separated further away from the turbo. The current one is from HKS and I had a previous pipe that was separated even further away, both have shuffle. I had heard that a divider can be welded in to the OEM pipe to remove turbulence, and figure that aftermarket pipes that are more separated would achieve the same thing. From what I read, most people with -10 turbos get shuffle due to their size, though it's a bit less common with -5s on a standard RB26. I think Nismoid mentioned somewhere it's because OEM recirculation piping is common in Australia with -5 cars. It seems that the recommendation tends to vary between a few options, which I've ordered in what I think is most feasible for me:  1. Retune the MAP or boost controller to try to eliminate shuffle 2. Install OEM recirculation piping 3. Something called a 'balance pipe' welded onto the exhaust manifolds. I don't know if kits for this are available, seems like pure fabrication work 4. simply go single turbo My current layout is as follows: Garrett 2860 -5s HKS Racing Suction intake MAF delete pipes HKS racing chamber intake piping hard intercooler piping,  ARC intercooler HKS SSQV BOV and pipe Haltech 2500 elite ECU and boost solenoid/controller HPI dump pipes OEM exhaust manifolds HKS VCAM step 1 and supporting head modifications Built 2.6 bottom end All OEM recirculation piping was removed, relevant areas sealed off I'll keep an eye out for any alternative solutions but can get started with this.  Only other question is, does shuffle harm the turbo (or anything else)? It seems like some people say your turbo shafts will explode because of the opposing forces after a while and others say they just live with it and adjust their pedal foot accordingly. 
    • That worked out PERFECTLY! Thank you big time to JJ. He was able to swap me his stock diff. He drove all the way to me as well. Killer! Removal & install was pretty straightforward. The diff itself is HEAVY. So that’s a 2 man job.  Man does the car drive nice now! Couldn’t have worked out any better 👌
    • I'm interested,do you still have it?
